RAMALLAH: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates today called on the Israeli occupation authorities to open all crossings in order to accelerate the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
The Ministry, in a press statement, strongly condemned the occupation government’s prevention of the entry of aid, particurlly into the northern Gaza Strip.
It said that Israel’s focus on giving approvals to open sea lanes and preventing the passage of aid overland through the crossings is aimed at implementing the occupation government’s plan to perpetuate the occupation, separate the West Bank from the Gaza Strip, and displace the Palestinian people.
